Life Sciences Companies – Drugs and Devices

Innovations in life sciences drive the entire health sector, but bringing an innovation to market and growing a company in this competitive industry is full of challenges. Because drugs and devices are highly regulated, companies require knowledgeable legal advice to make the most of great ideas. Nelson Mullins’ experienced healthcare team provides attentive service from business planning to FDA approval and corporate growth. Our attorneys counsel life sciences companies on matters such as:

• Start-up financing with angel investors, venture capital providers, private equity firms, and state and federal incentive programs and funds;
• Complex transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, using Nelson Mullins’ far reaching contacts and existing clients;
• Clinical research consistent with federal regulations for human subjects research and institutional review guidelines;
• FDA approval, from investigational licensing through the full application process;
• Intellectual property and patent protection, including attorneys registered to practice before the USPTO who hold degrees in technical disciplines, including electrical engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, and mechanical engineering, experience negotiating complex technology transfers, licenses, and acquisitions in the healthcare industry, and experience in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries in both the private sector and university setting; and
• Product marketing, consistent with FDA approval agreements and compliant with labeling regulations.
